Equipping Christian Men for Richer Relationships

Inner (Tormented) Thoughts

Here are some of my fears, questions, and inner confusion.

  • What if there is something everyone else knows but no one told me?
  • What if life is lived on the main road and I’ve spent my whole life on a side trail?
  • How come some people live life so easily and I have to slog my way through every day?
  • Am I doing something wrong? Why is life such a fight?
  • When I was young and the slow kid I always followed someone smarter. Who do I follow now?
  • Where are the wise, joy-filled, excited, older leaders?
  • And have you noticed? No one seems to be living the same life as you. Where is my role model? Who is my assigned mentor?
  • Also, have you noticed life is full of so much aloneness? What’s that all about?
  • Why do so many people hate themselves? They say terrible things about themselves.
  • I heard once addictions are attempts to run away from yourself. Why do so many people need to run away from themselves?
  • Spending a lifetime hating yourself makes no sense. But how come you freak out church people if you say, “I’m going to love myself?”

I hope today you feel encouraged to explore and discuss some of your inner confusion.

Prayer

Father, thank you for letting me vent my inner confusion. I need a Father that lets me question and explore issues. When I’m confused, I know I can always find rest in you? Amen.

Bible

For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. – Matthew 7:8 (NIV)
